As has been said many times in the past by many, I have to take some credit for this announcement having just ordered the German season 13 release late last night, along with seasons 14 and 16 to complete my Gunsmoke collection (will now have 13 through 20 from Germany). I put in a cancellation for just season 13, but will see if it takes since it is already in pre-shipment status. I'm fine either way since they were only $13 US each shipped. I also already have Bonanza season 9 through 13 from Germany (not interested in season 14 with no Hoss). If CBS US continues I can always wait and pick them up later on sale. Otherwise, I'm good moving forward. I was a bit concerned before of the PAL speedup issue with a show and characters I know quite well, but I recently rectified that with my Hitchcock Hour PAL release, which lead me to go ahead and pickup these remaining seasons now.

Finally, the long wait is over! After this, only 7 more seasons (a.k.a. 14+ years) to go. But at least now there's a bit more hope for further releases. I'd started to think Season 12 would be the last we'd see in Region 1.

My apologies for not being able to find or spot V2 of this 13th season as the link had the same picture uploaded twice but when i come across it or it gets corrected by them (already advised them of the error), I'll be sure to post it on here for you guys and gals.

When and if Gunsmoke reaches the end in the individual seasonal volumes, and subsequently sometime later puts out that condensed all-in-one that has been done for many CBS-owned series lately, how do you think it will be done? Will it be 4 cases of 5 seasons each, or 5 of 4 each?

"CBS Sports presents...The Prudential College Football Report, sponsored by The Prudential, offering a full range of insurance and other financial services. The Prudential: the Rock...it's strong, it's on the move, it's bigger than life."

(Don Robertson's opening from The Prudential College Football Report in the 1986 season, modified from what it was in 1985, in that "other financial services" was said instead of just "financial services")

Great! I am really looking forward to Season 13 since it's Newly's first year in Dodge City. The cast would be stable (as would the ratings!) until the departure of Amanda Blake in the spring of 1974. Personally I'd like to forget Season 20!

Bring "The continuing story of PEYTON PLACE" home on DVD: the one that started it all- from Dallas and Dynasty to Desperate Housewives and Gossip Girl!!! Starting this May, see the legendary saga starring Mia Farrow, Ryan O'Neal, Barbara Parkins, and Oscar-winner Dorothy Malone on DVD thru...

This is the best TV on DVD news so far this year. Hopefully we will also get Season 14 at the end of the year and then we will have a glimmer of hope for the series to be completed. Now bring on Bonanza Season 9.

I think if that ever happens it will be in 3 sets: The Half hour Black and White, The 1 hour Black and White and the Color episodes

They have already started doing this. I just bought re bought seasons 1-4 and seasons 5-7 in 2 slimmed down cases. Saw them at Walmart, saved me some space and for the price I was able to sell my individual volumes to cover the cost.

Actually, I happened to see that too, both of them-- I think that as more seasons' worth are released, there will be more of these.
